San Antonio

Sometimes I decide it's a good idea to be more involved and take a more active approach in trying to figure out what to do with my life.  So I joined the Financial Planning Association.  Ever since high school when I took financial literacy class, I have been super interested in money...like having it obviously, but also like managing it!  That's what led to me accounting, which I also love, and now financial planning.

I've recently decided to add on one more semester of school so I can add on a minor in financial planning.  Anyways, enough about my life plan that changes day by day, let's get down to the exciting stuff.

This weekend, I'm in the beautiful city of San Antonio working as a student volunteer for the FPA Conference.

Okay, can I just say that I am obsessed with San Antonio?

We're staying in downtown San Antonio, which is lovely.  The river walk is lined with cute, fun restaurants, the architecture is unique and nice, and the river is obviously a great feature.

Our "Crappy Coladas" at the Texas Tech student social.  Yum!

Okay, so let me just paint you a picture of the hotel we're staying at.  It's called the Menger, located right across the street from the Alamo.  It is HUGE.  Or at least seems that way, we still haven't found the quickest way to get up to our room, we just wander through hallways until we find it.  It's super old, and they have display cases filled with old things and black and white pictures in the lobby, where there's always old jazzy music playing.  Oh, and let's not forget that the Menger Hotel (according to wikipedia) is the most haunted hotel in Texas.  Which I'm sure everyone could guess is my favorite feature (not...)  Oh, my actual most favorite feature is the bed...I don't think I have ever slept so well in my life.

Anyways, it's been lovely.
